Trimble has announced that it is entering into collaboration with Australian construction drone data specialist Propeller Aero to improve compatibility between the two firms’ data systems.

Sydney-based Propeller is a leading supplier of unmanned aircraft system (UAS), or drone-based 3D data collection and surveying solutions. In particular they offer a cloud-based data visualisation program called Platform and physical ground control points called AeroPoints.

Trimble is looking to integrate Platform and AeroPoints into its Trimble Connected Site system, giving its users greater options when it comes to collecting and interpreting 3D survey data.

"We pride ourselves in taking the most trusted, technical data and tools and wrapping that up in an easy-to-use online platform that is relevant to the entire organization, not just technical users," Propeller Aero CEO Rory San Miguel says.

"Working closely with Trimble demonstrates a shared commitment to achieving that vision. Integrating our platform into Trimble's Connected Site solutions will bring a new class of information to construction sites and organizations globally."

The announcement coincides with Propeller’s first overseas expansion, with the company opening a North American HQ in Denver, Colorado.
